At this point it is a wildcat. Sadly.
It is a 375 Ruger necked down with a 338 RCM sizing die.
There are other 338 Wildcats on the 375 Ruger case. But that one is the simplest . And absolutely useful.
Pretty much duplicates the performance of the 340 Whby. But in a standard action size.
A guy over on 24 Hour Campfire came up with it and built rifles for it.
Ran the reamer in a 338 Win Mag and there ya have er.
For my purpose it would let me run 275 + 300 gr bullets at the more useful velocities. Without a lot of action work.
I like the 338 Win Mag. But heavy bullets end up with major extreme spread if trying to get 2500 fps.
I really like the 275 gr Swift A Frame for hunting . the Campfire would give 2700+ fps from a 24" barrel with less than max pressure.
